Accident or Conspiracy- Godhra Review: Director M.K. Shivaaksh’s 'Accident or Conspiracy: Godhra' is based on the most controversial Godhra case in Indian history. It happened in 2002 when 59 passengers were burned alive aboard the Sabarmati Express at Godhra station. The train was travelling from Ayodhya, and most of the people aboard it were Kar Sevaks.


Plot:


The story revolves around Mahmood Qureshi (Ranvir Shorey), a lawyer, presenting the Muslim side of Godhra case in court, and Ravindra Pandya (Manoj Joshi) is representing the Hindu side. The aim of the proceeding is to establish if the Godhra case was a conspiracy or an accident. Attorney Mahmood Qureshi makes an effort to prove that the Godhra train fire case was an accident, but was this really so easy to accomplish? One must watch the film to know the answer.


Performances:


Stylefully directing this dramatic courtroom play is M.K. Shivaaksh. Manoj Joshi and Ranvir Shorey are the real cinema stars. They both depict attorneys quite well, and they will go up against each other in court. Other actors who have done their parts with justice are M.K. Shivaaksh, Hitu Kanodia, Denisha Ghumra, Rajeev Surti, Akshita Namdev, and others.


 



Visuals:


The presentation of some sequences, which include burning alive individuals and some burned dead bodies, is too graphic for the general public to watch. In presenting the Godhra burning train case facts, the director has tried his hardest. The conversations that are employed both within and outside of legal settings are thoughtfully constructed. Even though the Godhra case still has a lot of unanswered issues, after watching this movie, audiences will have the best opportunity of finding the answers to the questions that have been lingering for the past thirty years.


Music:


The movie's superb directing and plot are matched by an equally impressive soundtrack. The excellent soundtrack that V. Rakx and Yug Bhusal produced justifies the settings. The film's beauty is enhanced by the vocals of Kailash Kher in the song Ho Mangalam.


Rating: 3/5 stars.
